Pros

The team here makes it worthwhile. I love the people I work with. They are some of the smartest, hardest working people I know. I have learned a lot.

Cons

Still feeling out the interim CEO. A lot feels in limbo. There have been a lot of changes recently. Too much is catered to a younger crowd. I wish it were more inclusive. Things like Happy Hour, Field Day, and other activities are great, but after working 40+ hours a week, I would love an activity that helps balance family a bit more.

Pros

Nice office. Vacation/PTO is about standard for the area. Salary is close to standard for the area (I think), Tampa is just terrible for tech in general. If you perform you'll be one of the favorites (doesn't mean they'll pay you market wage, you'll just be liked and can get away with little things). It is a decent place in the Tampa Bay area to get started in tech. I know of a couple of successful engineers working at other companies who started at FW. It is a cool space to be in. Auditing, compliance, etc is just going to continue growing in the future.

Cons

The software is seriously outdated, it's not COBOL like the one post said, but the architecture is terrible for their use case. I can't even believe people use this when there are FREE alternatives that do the job better. Instead of fixing the issues the CEO decided to go for a new market... so FairWarning is no longer a leader in the category THEY CREATED in KLAS, which is patient privacy monitoring. The main issue with the software is there's a tremendous amount of technical debt and it's running on seriously outdated technology for the task it is doing. I think they've put themselves in a corner because they basically missed the "cloud computing" wave. Culture here is just a terrible facade. Culture means "work for less money than you should make". They aren't going to get or keep good talent with the ridiculous culture. The public shaming is very real. Some people have had to publicly apologize to the whole company (which was due to management oversight but management did CYA and threw their boy under the bus). The culture results in a ton of brown nosing suck ups and yes men working for the company. Some of Sr Management is really good and I'd say there's only 1 or 2 that aren't too good, it's mainly the mid-level managers and employees that brown nose terribly.
